About this audiobook
This program is read by the author.
From former Navy SEAL, entrepreneur, father, and New York Times bestselling author Mark Divine comes Uncommon, an inspirational audiobook following Mark Divine's trademark warrior monk philosophy that will lead you to the summit of personal development.
To be common is to be an everyday person. It's to do the things that you are expected to do, whether that's what your parents want for you, or your employer, or your spouse, et cetera. But if you want to be more than you are, more than you think you can be, then you need to recognize and learn from your mistakes to lead a life of excellence.
As an elite Navy SEAL, entrepreneur, author, speaker, professor of leadership, and philanthropist, as well as the creator of SEALFIT, Kokoro Yoga, and Unbeatable Mind, Mark Divine uses years of wisdom, business development, martial arts, Eastern philosophy and military experience to take you through life's most important principles for finding your pursuit of excellence—so that you or anyone with the proper motivation can become uncommon.
A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

Reviews for Uncommon
1 rating1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book argues that to achieve excellence, you must break free from societal expectations and embrace your unique potential. Drawing on his experiences in the military, business, and Eastern philosophy, the author provides practical tools and principles to help you overcome obstacles, find your purpose, and live a life of uncommon achievement.
The introduction of this book feels very “motivational speaker-y,” but the rest is filled with practical advice. It’s entertaining, informative, and fun to read.
Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
